Hello from Cape Town, South Africa!
A casual runner who enjoys running the various road races each weekend, I was struck with a horrible back injury. Last year, I finished a half marathon in tears; agony from my back.
I expected my running "career" to be over. Chiropractors, physios, acupuncture and meds and I was slowly on the mend. During this time I started doing research and found barefoot running might be my last shot at running.
A year to the day that I finished that 21km in tears, I finished my first full marathon in my Vibram FiveFingers!
Not only am I a runner now, but a fully fledged barefoot runner!
I run in VFF Bikila and KMD LS on the road and Xero Shoes.
